Happy 1st Birthday Shanghai Disney Resort!

Published on 6/16/17 by Craig Smith

One year ago today, Shanghai Disney Resort opened its doors to the public. While the project was quite a long time in the making and cost a reported $5.5 billion, the results from its first year indicate strongly that all the extra cost and effort was worth it. As part of the park’s anniversary celebration, Disney announced over 11 million people have visited it since it opened, which places it 6th among all Disney Parks for annual attendance. Not bad for year 1.
